Aston Villa vs Hull City Match Thread

Bugger me, nearly 3.

Fantastic, best I've seen us play in a long time.

[Slaphead]

Also I believe we are the only team not to concede in the Prem.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck me off the bar

[PeterWithesShin]

Close again

Did Gabby glance at his contract this morning?

[Summers]

Richardson's positive's play is helping us. For a long time from midfield our only forward-thinking player has been Delph, having someone else trying to push on, making runs, looking up and finding space is improving our play.

lovely free kick from Ash

westwood hits woodwork

[Monty]

Who are they and what have they done with Aston Villa?

The Roy Keane effect

Ha! Well, maybe he has helped. If it were all him he'd be managing Barcelona, because this is some turnaround, but I think it appears to be a combination of a better backroom team than Culversa and Karhouse, better and more experienced players especially in defence, players like Westwood and Weimann taking that confidence and becoming better players themselves, and, I dunno, Jesus or something. This is a hell of a turnaround.

Great to hear our players being praised by commentators!
Free kick, come on, almost there, 'brilliant kick' ooh so close!

[Toronto Villa]

I love you Aly

[Risso]

Would it be disrespectful to Hull to bring Sanchez on already?

[devilla]

Great free kick, unlucky.

[Monty]

Westwood knocks the post unconscious.

Weimann has passed ok, but lacks pace and guile so gets caught in possession too much out wide for me.

Can't agree on Richardson, he has won 3-4 tackles and looked nimble and got his head up.

Weimann has a pathetic first touch but has been getting in good positions on the ball.

Richardson seems to be given a free role behind Gabby but isnt making himself available for passes from our midfield duo. Dont think he adds anything at all centrally for us. Might be worth swapping him and Nzogbia for a bit.

Hull improving now, we have gone into our shell since the goal. Huddlestone much more involved

  rico did well there, nice pass for weimann who finished well. shocking goal for Hull to concede but Delph and Gabby doing well again there, picking the right passes.

we could really hammer these today. Davies and Dawson are solid centre halves but not in a three at the back. Davies is having some nightmare. The Egyptian lad at right wing back is getting torn apart by Weimann and Gabby. All our progress has been in the channel between Davies and the right back
